Grey/Flying Squirrels

Grey squirrels can be a problem anytime of the year, but are more of an issue during spring and fall. Spring time marks the season for babies. Squirrels can have up to 3 litters a year. Squirrels take the opportunity to enter attics and use your insulation as nesting material to raise young. While inside, squirrels defecate on insulation and chew electrical or cable lines. Flying squirrels do the same except they are communal (living in colonies) and are nocturnal. Playful critters, flying squirrels can make a lot of noise through the night and disturbing your sleep.

Bats

Protected in NJ, bats can squeeze into structural gaps that lead into your attic or walls. If you have a colony living in your attic, you may have already experienced strange sounds or a pungent odor. Bat guano if allowed to pile up, will eventually form a mold called histoplasmosis. This mold if disturbed will become airborne. Sometimes bats find their way in living quarters. This is considered exposure. Its important to have it removed and tested for rabies as a precautionary measure.

Racoons

Causing a lot of damage, Raccoons can be a true nuisance. Whether raiding garbage cans or tearing up shingles, Raccoons need to be taken care of before anymore damage occurs. Raccoons love to raise their young in attics or chimneys. Feces builds up causing unpleasant odors.

Groundhogs

Groundhogs are vegetarians, eating all sorts of vegetation including garden vegetables and flowers. Groundhogs are excellent diggers, excavating under decks, sheds and near foundations. This tunneling sometimes compromises foundations and structures if left alone.

Skunk
